Force Protection Applied Res

Abstract

This project addresses applied research associated with providing the capability of Platform and Force Protection for the U.S. Navy. It supports the development of technologies associated with all naval platforms (surface, subsurface, terrestrial, and air) and the protection of those platforms. The goal is to provide the ability to win or avoid engagements with other platforms or weapons and, in the event of engagement, to resist and control damage while preserving operational capability. Within the Naval Transformational Roadmap, this investment directly supports the Theater Air and Missile Defense transformational capability required by Sea Shield and the Ship to Objective Maneuver key transformational capability by virtue of improvements in platform offensive performance, stealth, and self defense. This effort supports the FNC in the areas of Sea Shield, Cross Pillar Enablers, and Enterprise and Platform Enablers (EPE). This project reflects the alignment of Future Naval Capability (FNC) program investments for the following Enabling Capabilities (ECs): Anti-Ship Missile Defense Technologies, Sea Based Missile Defense of Ships & Littoral Installations, Advanced Threat Aircraft Countermeasures, Helicopter Low-Level Operation, Four Torpedo Salvo Defense, Shipboard Force Protection in Port and Restricted Waters - Detection and Classification, Underwater Total Ship Survivability, Compact Power Conversion Technologies and Affordable Submarine Propulsion and Control Actuation.
